Models for Parallel and Distributed Computing

We investigate a range of theoretical aspects and applications of parallel and distributed systems. One core subproject investigates a family of biologically inspired
membrane models, such as P systems, which exhibit a high potential for parallelism and distribution. Theoretically, such models can provide efficient solutions to
computationally complex problems which are intractable by conventional means. These are joint activities with Unconventional Computation.
